Here's a few pics of my Old 206. Was a great little motor and enjoyed (almost) every minute of driving it, gave a few more poweful cars a fright on track as well
I had him for 4 years and did quite a bit of work, axles, wheels, brakes, suspension, engine, cosmetic touches here and there, was a great project. Miss it quite a bit sometimes.

My favourite example of a well modified 206.
When you put it up for sale I thought hard about buying it but, without sounding hypocritical, the amount of engine tinkering put me off - especially the fiasco with the cams.

Heh heh. I've never heard from the new owner. Both happy and sad about that mind. I'm sure if he had a problem shortly after buying it he'd be in touch. But I've never heard a thing. ce la vie and all that I guess.
The Cams were a fiasco, but.... I soon stripped the engine back down into bits, rebuilt it with new Cam Belt, Head Gasket, Reworked Head and got it running within 5 hours or so. And it ran like a dream the next day at Castle Combe. Was (and hopefully still is) a fantastic motor.

I'm surprised the new owner never joined up here tbh. You did tell them didn't you?

Heh heh, I'd like to buy it back (he say's without seeing the shape its in now). If I could put the Leon's engine into it I would have it back in a heartbeat. Would be a monster then
It was a bit quicker than what it said on the tin It had quite a history, not all of it good mind, but it's all experience eh?!
I wanted to get it faster, but I just didn't have the cash at the time. Would have loved to get a supercharged engine in there but it was just out of reach. If I could have managed it, I would still have it
